0:00It's April 21st. Welcome in. This is Music News Today, where music meets AI. I'm Corey with the story. Shane and Barry, the grind core legend from Napalm Death, just dropped the music video for Taurus, the second single from his debut solo album, Bridge 2. Resolution. Disney's production is putting it out on CD and vinyl, June 5th. This A-track project flips the script from his extreme metal roots into something way more atmospheric. The album pulls from Goth and Pulse Punk vibes, nodding to bands like Hachto Twins, Killing Joke and The Mission.

This solo drop shows Emburry channeling personal struggles into expansive sounds, proving the guy's creativity never quits, always pushing boundaries. No matter the genre.
